Hear, hear. I've now committed all of Larry's patch emails to git bar
one; it was adding a trivial example to the start of mh-alias(5). I've
then gone back through the git history of every man page looking for the
recent commit that was a significant change and altered `.TH's date to
that. This removes probably all of Larry's date changes, but isn't as
simple as restoring the date before his because I thought they were
wrong in a few cases.
The date has also changed from reverse-podium /^mmm dd?, yyyy$/ to
yyyy-mm-dd format as man(7) here refers to man-pages(7) for .TH and that
dictactes the sane modern format.
mh-chart.man hasn't been touched. I think it's built, but not
automatically?
The man pages still need much work, but now the backlog from Larry is
processed, incremental changes can occur without causing merge problems.
I still need to add more conventions to docs/README.manpages.
